Refueling satellites is a relatively new concept that will only be first operational in the coming years. Aerial refueling of aircraft has taken place for decades. However, refueling satellites has one big challenge that refueling aircraft does not. Due to the stringent requirements, refueling satellites requires the use of intelligent autonomous systems which leads to the question of trust in the system. Trust needs to be built upon a comprehensive understanding of the system which in turn need to be integrated into the development of the system requirements. Model-based systems engineering (MBSE) is a proven solution to best capture the systems engineering approach increasing understandability. Furthermore, by providing a visual representation of a system, model-based systems engineering allows for better understanding, traceability, earlier detection of errors, and more.
